PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN

Tuesday, December 10th in the Fellowship Hall

Come hear Karen Cameron’s story of how the ministry of 2nd Presbyterian and Habitat for Humanity affected her life. Remember that the PW’s monthly meetings are open to everyone, regardless of gender!

The FSF annual Christmas party is December 15th and 6 PM in the Shannondale Clubhouse. If you plan to attend, please send an RSVP to Lauren Dodson (april392002@yahoo.com), and bring a side or dessert to share.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Second, Lake Hills, Lake Forest, and Graystone Presbyterian Churches are hosting a joint Blue Christmas worship service at Lake Hills Presbyterian Church on Thursday, December 19^th at 6:30 p.m. The service recognizes that the Christmas season can be a painful time for some and is designed to offer comfort and hope to those experiencing grief, loneliness, depression, loss, isolation, and anguish. All are invited, particularly those who have experienced a loss of some kind in the previous year. If you need a ride or know of someone who does, please contact the church office.

Following worship, any college student or young adult who would like to go to lunch with other young adults is invited to meet at the Baptismal Font. We will go to a local restaurant together and the church will pay for lunch.

If you would like to sign up to host, please use this link or the QR code or contact Tim Reynolds (treynolds@2ndpres.org).

If you have not already pledged online through the church website, through the Giving tab in your Realm account, or with a physical card, there is still time. Please let us know how you plan to support the ministry and mission of 2nd Presbyterian as soon as possible. Thank you for your commitment to 2nd Presbyterian Church.

Did you know that this list changes monthly to reflect current needs?

Feel free to contact the office at 865-523-2189 if you would like to drop off items at the church.

This month (DECEMBER), the FISH Pantry is in special need of household and personal items:

Dish Soap
Bar Soap
Shampoo
Deodorant
Toothpaste
Toilet paper
Maxi Pads

All food purchases and other items our coordinating team makes are paid for from a church-designated fund specific to the Fish mission. If you feel called to contribute to that fund, you can do so at any time of the year by check (Fish Fund in the memo line), the church website (click on “Give,” then “Fish” in the Fund drop-down), or Realm (click on “Giving,” then “Fish” in the Fund drop-down).

And, we can always use more volunteers -- either for packing in the mornings or delivering in the early afternoon -- to help expand the number of Knox County residents with food insecurity that we can assist. It's the 4th Tuesday of every month. Contact Dick Dodson at rtdodson52@gmail.com.

Thank you for your incredible generosity!

Amy Garcia, Sue Jacox, Donna Downen, and Arlys Milligan
